Flat6Labs Changes Course and Becomes F6 Group

Announced on August 5, 2025, this restructuring brings together two entities: the Flat6Labs accelerator and F6 Ventures, a new venture capital fund dedicated to seed financing. The goal is clear: to offer emerging market startups structured support and more targeted access to capital.

F6 Ventures: A Growing Portfolio

F6 Ventures already manages over $90 million in assets and a portfolio of over 300 startups. The group plans to raise several regional funds to reach $200 million under management and invest in over 200 companies in the next five years. This hybrid model responds to an urgent need for early-stage financing in Africa and the Middle East, where funding rounds have decreased from $3.6 billion in 2022 to $1.9 billion in 2024.

Accelerating Growth and Innovation

By combining investment and support, F6 Group aims to accelerate the transition of young startups from idea to expansion, and strengthen innovation, qualified employment, and digital sovereignty in emerging ecosystems.
